1950 · St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis, Missouri, 1950. Very good. Photographically illustrated postcard measuring 3¼” x 5½”. Very good: moderate wear and a vertical crease at left.
This is a postcard for an African American-owned business in St. Louis: the B&B Oasis Lounge and Snack Bar. The postcard shows the two proprietors as well as an interior shot of the bar. Leonard A. "Butter" Brown (1907-1986) used this same headshot when running for constable in 1950, as seen in a handbill held at Howard University. He owned and operated the B&B Oasis from circa 1947 to the 1960s, and was later a successful bail bondsman.
